Dated 1965 European Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting by Jean Moreaux (1938–2001). Vintage Dutch Modern Oil on Canvas
A refined vintage abstract Expressionist painting dated 1965 by Dutch artist Jean Moreaux (1938–2001). Executed in oil on canvas with thick, expressive brushwork, this modern composition explores texture, structure, and subtle tonal variation. Presented in its original wooden frame.
This compelling composition by the Dutch artist Jean Moreaux is built from layered planes of pale blue, soft grey, and muted green, applied with confident, heavily textured brushstrokes. The surface is rich with impasto, allowing the paint itself to become an essential element of the composition.
Painted in 1965, the work reflects the mid-century European movement toward abstraction, where form was reduced and emotion conveyed through material, rhythm, and balance rather than representation. The geometric suggestion beneath the surface, intersecting shapes and structural divisions, gives the painting a quiet architectural quality, while the restrained palette keeps the work calm and contemplative.
Good vintage condition with light age-related wear. Paint surface is stable with intentional impasto texture. Frame shows minor wear consistent with age. The painting is signed and dated by the artist and housed in its original simple wooden frame, which complements the understated, modern character of the work without distraction.
Artist Bio — Jean Moreaux (1938–2001)
Jean Moreaux was a Dutch modern artist active during the second half of the 20th century. Working primarily in abstraction and European abstract expressionism, he explored texture, structure, and muted colour fields, drawing influence from European modernism and post-war abstraction. His work reflects a thoughtful, material-focused approach to painting, emphasising surface and balance over narrative imagery. Today, his paintings are appreciated for their quiet strength and refined modern sensibility.
